Increasing photo quality in Web Photo Galleries

I create Photo Galleries (Create->Photo Galleries) and FTP them to an ISP for family to view. However the quality of the photos is low(ish). I have tried every Type and Style I can find in Elements. How do I increase the size (and therefore quality) of the photos in Photo Galleries to (say)100K per photo. If this isn't possible, what are the alternatives? Thanks!

Robin,
There are different layouts of galleries (PSE5), which display images of
different pixel dimensions and file size.
For instance, in my case, the first gallery when choosing a template,
"Standard (Small Thumbnails): A paginated grid of small thumbnails on the
left and a preview image on the right" displays images in the 60 - 70 KB
range, at a size of 480x320 px. Another gallery, "Slideshow: Slideshow-only
gallery that scales to fit the browser window" uses larger images, 636x424
px at right around 100 KB.
The quality of these two image sizes is probably similar, the file size
difference is due to variation of the pixel dimensions.
When using the second gallery above, or another one that uses the large file
size, you can actually go in and exchange the relatively low quality images
with a set of the same images that you would have manually sized and saved
at a better quality. I just ran a test and substituted the 100 KB images
with a set of 180 - 200 KB pictures at 800x533 px. They have to have the
exact same file names as the original set. They are located in:
C: ...\Untitled_Gallery\resources\media\08slideshow\large
This sounds like a tedious procedure, but if you have edited a set of
images, you can run the gallery creation with that set and turn around and
replace the files.

  • Web Photo album file problem

    I have Dreamweaver 8 and am trying to create a photo album with  Web Photo Album 2.2 but when I try to add a folder of pictures to create an album I get a message of:  No Items Match Your Search.   I know there are .jpg files in the folder.   I have seen old reference to this problem in other forum entries but nobody seems to have an answer.  Is there a fix for this problem?   If not.. how can I create a photo album in Dreamweaver without using this feature? 

    Hi,
    hope I understood correct: for me a photo album is something like a slide show. In this case i like to work with

    And and finally here a recommendation from Nancy O. (You don't mind?):

  • CS5 - Where has Web Photo Gallery gone? I use it all the time to prepare galleries for Dreamweaver.

    Having just upgraded from CS2 to CS5, I cannot find Web Photo Gallery (previously File, Automate, Web Photo Gallery).
    This was very useful to prepare galleries of images sent to me by our group members in all sizes, so I could send all the gallery files straight into Dreamweaver for uploading to our website.

    Thanks, "obvious" always works for me...
    In CS2 they offered thumbnails of the gallery styles. Hitting Refresh Preview in CS5 requires the photos to load the gallery. Doesn't take too long, but the other was quick and simple.

  • Web Photo Galleries

    Hi
    I normally use the big guy, Photoshop, but I bought elements 9 because I thought it would have that automated web photo gallery from previous versions. That is that automated feature that makes a web site of a folder of pictures. I can't seem to find it.
    How do I do that?
    Thanks
    Jon

    You can select a group of photos in the organizer and start there, or you can open all the files in the editor and right click the project bin to save them as an album if you don't use organizer, then go on from there.
    I don't know what you mean by "it didn't function". To run the gallery on your local computer, go into the finished smart album folder and double click the index.html file.
    Many of these galleries are interactive: they don't do anything till you do something, like turn the pages of the book, click on a photo in the pile to pick it up and look at it, etc.

  • Web flash galleries display photos in LR4.2 but html galleries don't

    Some galleries are displayed via JavaScript, so if they aren't working the make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Quality of photos downloaded from web gallery

    If someone downloads a photo from my web gallery, what quality is the photo? When you share a photo through email it asks you if you want to send it "Actual Size", "Large (higher quality), Medium, etc. Also, is the quality of a photo downloaded in a web gallery the same as a photo downloaded from my iWeb website?

    If you select the option to let others download photos from the web gallery they will be downloading the full sized, pixel-wise, image. However, there will have been some jpg compression on the file. iPhoto does that so as to speed up uploading time and not fill up the iDisk as fast. The amount of compression is 9 on a scale of 1 to 12 where 12 is the highest quality. This was determined by saving the same file with Photoshop to different quality levels and comparing.
    I was hardpressed to see any degradation in image until I compared them side by side at about 200% magnification. Exposure histograms for each image were the same.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • For highest photo quality what should ppi be? in photoshop should I "Sharpen Edges" as in use for web?

    For highest photo quality what should ppi be to look good in Retina?  In photoshop should I use "Sharpen Edges" as I would for in use for web?

    There are about 1 trillion  threads and replies about the size of images to be used and accepted when using iBA.
    Obvioulsy you have not taken time to search the forum  before asking your question, nor do you seem to have downloaded the iBA asset guide.
    I suggest you go to Apples iPad page on the store and check the screen dimentions/ resolution for a non mini  iPad retina. DPI at 72 or above is your choice.
    I also suggest before setting out on a book project, you take time to read the forum and download the PDFs which are available.
    A KT states in effect - first do your own home work before starting out asking questions and that way you will avoid the proverbial self inflicted wounds - which will follow because  it seems you have not yet actually spent time learning about iBA or read the  help files.
    This forum will gladly spend time and effort to help folk... but most dont  really have time to continually  givie answers which already exist on the forum.

  • Preview, export, and upload web photo galleries

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSA20E5E2B-1F61-4c59-A3F4-13C1AEF9EF56.html

    In the web photo gallery, exporting seems to automatically create 4 sizes of images: large, medium, small and thumb. Because of copyright and bandwidth concerns, I start out with small images anyway. What Lighroom does, however, is to still create images for each, small, medium and large to be exactly the same size, and then the thumbnail. Ie I end up with bloating website which is 3 times as large as what it should be. Multiply the space wasted by thousands of photos, and you'll soon see that it is extremely inefficient way of creating a web presence. Then I have to FTP the mass to a remote server. Crazy. Yet, I cannot find an option anywhere (incl the help text) to turn off the bloatware. Adobe. How do I create only one size of image during export, namely original size, plus a thumbnail? That is all I need.

  • Bring Back the HTML Web Photo Galleries to CS4

    These were useful, easy to customize templates with more creative freedom. Much more so than what the flash templates provide. Using the web photo gallery control panel through Bridge was more efficient than through Photoshop since you could select files rather than entire folders. Since it's available as a "legacy" plugin included with the Goodies for Photoshop, how about a plugin script to put it back where it was in Bridge? (Bridge>Tools>Photoshop>Web Photo Gallery)
    Please?

    Sorry,
    I don't know how to post a new massage.
    I'm sorry to used it to post my question.
    My question is, how I can use bridge cs4 to post a web gallery to my server,
    all the time is tell me I can't do it.
    or if i want to open it in dreamweaver cs4 is tell me I need flash cs4 but, I have flash cs4 install
    any help I will appreciated it.
    I'm sorry again to post it here.
    Thank You

  • How do I improve the quality of photos on the web?

    I have noticed that a lot of websites I visit the image quality is shocking, its driving me mad and cant figure out how to improve it for good instead of pressing SHIFT + A or whatever it is... please help   

    Your web browser doesn't control image quality on web sites. It's controlled by how those images were optimized.
    The sites that look really good were probably put together by people who understand how to balance contrast processing, sharpening, and data compression settings to produce an image highly optimized for web display. Also, if you have a Retina screen, some websites are Retina-optimized and many are not.
    When images look bad on a web site, it's because the production people don't understand how to sharpen for the web, or maybe the site imposes mandatory over-compression to save space but that destroys image quality (e.g. Facebook).

  • Web Photo Gallery legacy files CS6 PS

    Before purchasing PS CS6, I want to confirm that I will still be able to load the legacy Web Photo Galleries on the program. Anyone know? Thx.

    I need something that will write in the description that I have in the meta data area for each file.  That's the most work for me and hoping bridge or ps will generate that for me.
    Yes that was a good feature of Photoshop  Web Photo Gallery feature as was it ability to stamp you with you Copyright Info..  Unfortunately Adobe did not implement that in their  lame Bridge output module.  The Web Galleries that it can generate has very limited customization options.  While it may generate SimpleViewer Flash Web galleries the can easy display descriptions Adobe did not choose to implement image description.  
    An Adobe employee named Jeff Tranberry wrote a Photoshop Script to generate SimpleViewer Galleries that can be downloaded from the SimpleViewer Web Site.   I modified that script to use image files meta-data like Photoshop Web Photo Gallery feature did for a couple of Flash Gallery viewers.  The two I use are SimpleViewer and WS-Slideshow.  What nice about Flash Galleries viewers is they will resize images to fit into the user browsers window you do not need to have multiple sizes of your images on your web server.  A user can resize their browsers window to see your image larger or smaller.  You choos the image quality a can see most of my images are quite large fitten to 1600x1200. WS-Slideshow  Example http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/ Note: I hide WS-Slideshow menu bar hover the mouse over the bottom of an image to use it. Some albums have discription and other options.
    However Apple mobile iOS devices do not have Flash support and I sure more mobile platforms will loose Flash support for Adobe is not developing Flash for mobile devices any more.  I do not care some mobile devices can not view my images.

  • Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3

    I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
    add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
    only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
    from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
    there an easier way?

    I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
    of their output
    code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
    as Patty said,
    might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
    might want to
    take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
    features and
    capabilities you want or need.

  • Adobe Tools - Best Photo Format for Web Content

    Hi,
    We have recently redesigned our website at http://www.aljoufilaw.com/ar/ and inserted photos in the homepage and its sub-pages.
    Our concern is that we want to have the photos in the best quality and with high resolution. What is the best photo format to achieve this? We had converted our photos in Photoshop to JPEG and PNG.
    Does increasing the resolution in Photoshop by going to image>image size>resolution, helps the quality of the photo in the website?
    We appreciate your expert advice and opinion on this.

    No.  Resolution is a print concept which has no real meaning on the web.  What matters on the web is height & width in pixels (500 x 325).
    Even if you save images at 300 dpi for print, they will be displayed in web browsers at 72 ppi (or slightly higher in HiDef displays).
    Higher bandwidth (file size) just makes your images load very slowly with no significant gain in quality.  
    In Photoshop, use File | Save for Web  & use the 4-up tab to compare file size with image quality.  Rule of thumb on the web is to use optimized JPGs for photos and select the smallest file size you can get away with, then back off a tad.
    See screenshot from Photoshop.

  • CS3 Web Photo Gallery index.htm renaming

    I'm not sure if there is a way to change this but if any one know please let me know. I working to modify one of the templates for the Web Photo Gallery, and am wondering if there is a way to designate in the template what to name the index page besides index.htm or index.html.
    I'm working to create a site that will have many photo galleries. And while it does work to have each gallery in its own sub directory with the main gallery page named index.htm. I would prefer to have the main gallery page renamed during the automation process for easier archiving.
    Let me know if anyone know if this is possible.

    >Anyway, renaming the files should not pose a problem, if you do full links. I just wouldn't do it for web galleries created automatically from PS.
    There are could be hundreds of subpages in a gallery and I'm trying to avoid going back and redoing the link to each of the main pages. Every subpage points to the main page or the index page that PS creates. I can go and manually rename the index page but then the home button that is generated during the automation on each of the sub pages needs to be changed as well. I'm trying to avoid this.
    Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish. In the root of the domain I plan on having my index page (with a brief description about the company). Then I plain to have a few other pages including a gallery page. This is going to be the main page for all my galleries. Images will be places here that will link to the main page of each of the galleries that are created. Also on the root there will be a folder named "XYZ". This is were all the galleries will be placed under there own sub folders.

  • How to have more than one Bridge Web Photo Gallery in a site

    I'm having a problem inserting more than one bridge web photo gallery in my site. I have thumbnails of different jobs and when clicked I want a new page to load with all the images of that job. I have one thumbnail linked to one of the galleries and I made another gallery and can't find the code to change to link it to the new html gallery. When the page loads it shows the first gallery I made instead of the new gallery.
    Example:
    I made a gallery of a deck job and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it brings up the deck.html photo gallery made in bridge cs4. Good!
    Now, I made a gallery of an outdoor fireplace and on my photo page there is a thumbnail. When clicked it should load the photo gallery of the outdoor fireplace. It loads the gallery of the deck instead.
    I understand that the code needs to be changed to link to the new files. I changed the "resource" folder for the outdoor fireplace to "resource2" and changed the code script src="resources" to script src="resources2" and it did not work
    I suspect that I need to change the code that points to group.xml and rename the new photo gallery group.xml to group2.xml so it will find the one in my resources2 folder, but I can't find the code anywhere.
    Any help would be great. Also, if there is a better way of doing this let me know?
    Thanks

    Maybe I can explain this better....
    the group.xml file has the information for what images to load. When previewing the outdoor fireplace web gallery "of.html" it loads the "deck.html" web gallery. I believe this is because in one of the files it is requesting the info from the group.xml file from the resourses folder. I need to find where the code is that directs it to the group.xml and change it to group2.xml and rename that group.xml file for "of.html" to group2.xml in the resourses2 folder.
